While in Idaho

I have been in Idaho for the last two weeks lookin for something to do. I did a little work and a little play. Of course i went fishing, horse races, camp fires, build a little fence, cut some firewood, some more fishing, killed and skinned a rattle snake, went for a horse ride, fishing again, and played dominoes with the family. I got this old sheep camp from my grandma. I am going to start restoring it. It had been parked in the same place ever since I was a kid. I was surprised the wheels turned. My dad told me he spent many a nights in that old sheep camp. He said when he was little he woke up in the middle of the night and needed to go outside. well before they went to sleep they had forgot to put the fold down table "UP" along with the pancake mix. So when he got outta bed he landed right on the table. And there went breakfast. He said grandpa was madder than hell at him. made me laugh. I hope to have it finished by Christmas, cause i want to sleep in it on Christmas Eve. It even has a woodstove in it.

About Me

I am a rod builder of Bamboo and Fiberglass. I love these materials as a medium for creating fly rods. Their slower action suit my casting stroke and my idea of how a fly should be placed on the water.
